Product Features

Breadwinner Benefit	On the death of the main insured person, the policy will become paid-up for the remaining insured persons, depending on the duration of the policy. If the main insured person dies within the first ten (10) years of the policy, the policy will be paid-up for the spouse, parents, parents-in-law and children. Should the main insured person die after the policy has been in force for ten (10) years, the policy will be paid-up for the extended family members as well. The benefit is only applicable to a policy where the main insured person is also the policyholder and premium payer.
Spouse Benefit	The person who is the life partner of the main insured person in marriage or customary union recognised by the laws of South Africa; or in a union recognised as a marriage in keeping with the principles of any faith; or in a same-sex or heterosexual union that is planned to be permanent, may be added under the spouse benefit. If there is a second spouse, they can be added as an extended family member.
Parent Benefit	The parents as well as the parents-in-law of the main insured person can be added under the parent benefit (maximum of four (4) parents).
Extended Family Benefit	A maximum of six (6) extended family members of the main insured person can be added such as brothers, sisters, foster-children, grandmothers, grandfathers, grandsons, granddaughters, uncles, aunts, nephews, nieces, children-in-law, adult children, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, cousins, additional spouse and their parents and children.
Children's Benefit	Unmarried own children, step children or legally adopted children of the main insured person can be added to the policy.
Accident Benefit	Double the insured amount to a maximum of R20,000.00 will be paid in the case where the main insured person on the policy dies as a result of an accident (suicide is excluded).

Waiting Period

The cover in terms of the policy may be subject to a waiting period. A waiting period refers to a time during the life of an active policy when no benefit will be paid if a claim event happens, unless the insured person dies accidentally. The policy has a waiting period of six months from the policy issue date. This means that if any of the insured persons under this policy die as a result of natural causes, the benefit will not be paid. A claim will be considered only after the six-month waiting period from the policy issue date has been completed and six premiums were received from the policy start date. If the waiting period has passed but six premiums were not received from the policy start date when a claim happens, we will reduce the claim amount payable with the outstanding part of the six premiums that is still payable for the insured person who died. There is no waiting period for accidental death. An accidental death claim will only be paid during the waiting period if the policy started and we received the first premium.

If you took out funeral cover with another insurer and that policy lapsed or was cancelled within 31 days before the issue date of a new policy with us, the whole, or a part, of the waiting period may be waived. If the waiting period under the previous policy had expired, no waiting period will be imposed under this policy. If the waiting period under the previous policy had not expired at the time of entering into the new policy, the waiting period equal to the unexpired part of the waiting period under the previous policy will be imposed by AVBOB, if the new policy provides the same or a lesser amount of funeral cover relating to the same insured person(s) as those covered under the previous policy. In order to waive the waiting period (partially or in total), proof of the start date, premiums paid to date, insured person(s), insured amount and the cancellation date of the previous policy from the previous insurer, will be required at application or at claim stage if not provided at application stage.
